Here's the Golden Door Motel, complete with revolving wooden door
on the motel. Mechanical signs like this one are few and far between in
this day and age.

This fine neon sign depicting the Arrowhead Lodge still lights
up the sky in Osage Beach. Just check out the outline on this neon marquee.

The pulsating lines just waves about but does not quite hide the fact
that the neon "E" is in the wrong color!

Indiana is home to the Diplomat Motel. Shown here in neon splendor,
the Diplomat was redone recently.

Here's a nice shot of the West-Wind Motel in all its neon greatness.
This Illinois rest stop is worth a look-see.

Check out the Brer
Rabbit Motel and its smiling bunny on its sign. Quite the smile,
to say the least.

UPDATE 08/08 : This great sign is GONE. As of a week ago, there's now a very plastic box that simply says the name of the place. Many thanks to Gary for update. 08-08

Here's a shot of The
Stars Motel sign all lit up for the evening. Looks like the neon is
in perfect working order.

UPDATE 09/06 : The Stars Motel on Lincoln Avenue is in the process of being demolished for new condo development. Thanks to the concern by the new developer over saving this sign, the sign was placed on eBay and sold for about a hundred dollars. The sign was purchased with plans to install it in a clothing store on Armitage Avenue in Chicago. Many thanks to Scott Schiller for update. 09-06
